The cost of divorce is soaring in Maryland. In litigated cases, the minimum cost for legal fees can be $25,000 or more, per spouse. We believe that in most divorce cases, where finances are a major issue, the addition of a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst ® can be an invaluable tool.
We also recognize that it is financially difficult for many individuals or couples to add another layer of professionals to their process. This is why we have created our Fixed-fee alternative programs. If neither program suits your needs, contact us for a 10-minute free consult. We may be able to build a program especially for your needs.
